■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all time s is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
■Traffic announcement operation
When traffic announcement is set to on, “TP” will appear on the screen and the radio will
begin seeking a TP station. If the radio s eeks out a TP station, the program name will
appear on the screen. If a traffic announcement station is received, the radio will be
switched to the traffic information program automatically. When the program ends, the
initial operation will resume.
